AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on issues with .ost and .pst files in Microsoft Outlook 2007, specifically regarding the inability to convert or use certain files as personal folders. The user successfully converted one .pst file to .ost but encountered problems with others. It is clarified that .pst files are the correct format for personal folders. Additionally, there is no known tool for merging these files directly, but users can create a new data folder in Outlook to transfer items between files. The conversation also touches on syncing issues with Exchange and Enterprise via Blackberry, noting a preference for MyHosting.com over Go Daddy due to previous difficulties. The thread concludes with a reference to a related resource for further guidance on migrating from IMAP to POP.

I have several of the .ost and .pst data files that I am trying to make as mailboxes (with the inbox and other subs that I created) but when I try it says they are not personal folders. I had changed one pst to ost and it worked but not the others. I thought .pst was the right suffix for these types of files?

Secondly can I merge or do something to combine these different files?

I am using Microsoft OL 2007 with hosting from MyHosting.com and it is on my laptop using Windows Ultimate 64 bit as my operating system. If it matters I have a Toshiba Satellite C655d-S5043.

I also have Exchange and Enterprise via my Blackberry to sync with outlook through myhosting., com which is much more satisfactory than Go Daddy which I had nothing but problems with (maybe because I am too stupid to know how to follow rules)

You could create a data folder in Outlook for both and then transfer them. There is no merge tool that I know of.
 
This looks like a setup for spam.

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
